If more of your shortlist points here, compare Ari as a base.
Ari neighborhood is one signal, not a reason by itself to choose a hotel. It sits in Ari, and RJNS currently gives Ari the strongest stay fit for this stop. If more of your saved places cluster on this side of Bangkok, the area becomes more useful as a base.
Good for a lower-key Bangkok base when Ari, Chatuchak and north-central stops matter more than riverside attractions.
